If you choose to take retirement early you will not be eligible for a State Pension until you reach state pension age. You can find out what your state pension age will be from http://www.thepensionservice.gov.uk/.

You can also get a State Pension Forecast to see how much State Pension you will receive upon entitlement by visiting the Inland Revenue website, or writing to the forecasting team.
